Team News:

• Jeremie Frimpong, Stefan Bajcetic, Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Wataru Endo are not going to be in action for Liverpool. They are injured.

• Brighton will miss out on the services of Stefanos Tzimas, Solly March, Adam Webster and Carlos Baleba. They are not match fit. Mats Wieffer and Yasin Ayari are not yet confirmed to be a part of the squad.

Player(s) to watch:

• Dominik Szoboszlai is going to be an important aspect of the squad for Liverpool. He can control the midfield well and is surely capable of scoring goals. The 25-year-old scored a stunning free-kick against Man City, but it was not enough to get the Reds a win. He will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

• Danny Welbeck will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Reds. Even though he is not in top form, the 35-year-old is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Brighton. Welbeck will be keen to put in all his efforts here.
